Would a loan deal be the best option for him or should he be looking to fight for a place in the Brighton team?

Brighton don't have the options, say a Tottenham or Arsenal have and he seems highly rated 

A loan deal would pretty much guarantee him first team football though.

Thoughts?

He's at that age now where he needs to be playing regularly at a decent level. Physically, he's well developed for his age, so that shouldn't be an issue. I don't think he has anything to gain by sitting on the bench for the season and hoping for the odd run out.

Ah here LOL

His goals in EPL 2 remind of a fox in the box style striker. Yesterday’s goal was a classic Inzaghi finish latching onto anything. Thankfully Connolly isn’t born offside and looks comfortable at taking on long range strikes as well.

Similar to Inzaghi only with more attributes? 

Must be a good one.

Jurgen Locadia joins Hoffenheim on loan. I'm aware he's a very different type of player to Connolly but it's one less forward option in the way for him now at least.

Brighton playing City this weekend, I remember City were looking at Connolly as well as United.

Be good to see Connolly handed his PL debut this weekend off the bench and impress against City, maybe after Brighton are 4-0 down

That's great news for Aaron. Andone suspended for next 3 games too.
Geremi has let Kilbane in here, cross comes out to Holland, 1:1!!

Ah here what? 

Banging in goals for the reserves. Makes his senior debut and scores, did I say something wrong?

No. In true YBIG style, your error was that you just said something.

Subbed on for the last 20 mins with Brighton 3-0 down, predictable enough really. Hopefully he has a good 20 mins.

Was mainly watching the Sheffield United match but turned on this one when he came on.  Unsurprisingly, he hardly had a touch.

How far is Aaron Connolly off being called into the senior squad? I've not tracked him over the years to see the progress at different levels, but there seems to be way more hype over Troy Parrott over the likes of Connolly. Is it just because Troy plays for Spurs so gets more attention on here?
